“…Similar bacterial isolates were noted by Choi et al [8]. P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were the frequent isolates observed by studies from our country as well as our neighboring countries too [3,7,[9][10][11][12]. Park et al [13] too have noted methicillin-resistant S. aureus (24.8%) in their isolates.…”

Objective: Identifying the role of nasopharyngeal bacteria in recurrent middle ear (ME) infection helps in developing an effective treatment strategy. We aimed to compare bacterial flora of ME with nasopharynx (NP) and their sensitivity patterns in active stage of mucosal disease -otitis media (CSOM).Methods: Ear and nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with active ear discharge for >3 months were processed for culture and sensitivity, the organisms were identified using Gram-stain.Results: Twenty patients between 10 and 65 years and male:female ratio of 13:7 were enrolled. 9 had symptoms since childhood. 10 patients complained unilateral ear discharge; five each had discharge from the left and right ear. 11 patients had nasal symptoms; nose block due to obstruction (9), nasal discharge (8), and both symptoms were seen in eight patients. 14 patients (70.0%) had deviated nasal septum and 8 (40.0%) had discharge in the NP. Of 20 ear swabs, 19 grew bacteria; 1 was sterile (5.0%). 13 (65%) nasopharyngeal swabs grew bacteria, 7 were sterile. Culture yielded aerobic bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common bacterium (9/20, 45.0%) followed by Pseudomonas (7/20, 35.0%) isolated from the ear. The most common nasopharyngeal isolate was S. aureus (9=45%). 10 patients had common ME and nasopharyngeal flora. Organisms were sensitive to amoxicillin+clavulanic acid, fluoroquinolones. Sensitivity was observed to polymyxin, trimethoprim, and sulfamethoxazole also. Conclusion:Common ME and nasopharyngeal flora with same antibiotic sensitivity pattern suggest nasopharyngeal etiology. Nasopharyngeal flora may have a role in recurrent ME infections in mucosal disease -otitis media.

BACKGROUNDSuppurative otitis media is a very common disease in ENT practice in all age groups, but in children it represents an important cause of preventable hearing loss. Physicians attending such patients tend to use antibiotics in the first instance empirically. Even though many studies are available on the susceptibility profiles of the bacteria isolated from the ear discharge, the susceptibility of these organisms varies from time to time and from place to place. Hence, such studies are required periodically to evaluate the changing trends in bacterial susceptibility following isolation.Objective of this study is to isolate and identify the bacteria and study their antibiotic susceptibility profiles in children attending the Government ENT Hospital in Hyderabad. MATERIALS AND METHODSBetween December 2008 and November 2012, a cross-sectional study was conducted at Government ENT Hospital, Koti, Hyderabad on 320 ear discharge samples collected from children attending with complaints of suppurative otitis media. Standard microbiological procedures adopted in collection, isolation and culture sensitivity of the samples.
